BlackBerry Tablet aka “BlackPad” To Sell for $499 in November?

There are some interesting rumors floating about coming from Apple Daily. They are spreading the news that the BlackBerry Tablet, affectionately known as the BlackPad, will be selling in November for a $499 price point. (Wonder why?)

Supposedly Quanta won the bid to create 2 million units starting this September for a retail launch in November. They are also tapped to create another 8 million tablets in 2011.

The rest of the rumor is pretty standard by now including a 9.7 inch display along with Bluetooth, WiFi, front and back cameras, and more. Hopefully this will NOT be running BlackBerrys current version of the OS and instead will be RIM’s first step into creating a OS of the future. 🙂
